Yellow sticky traps are a non toxic way to control and monitor aphids,
cucumber beetles, fruit flies, fungus gnats, leafhoppers, froghoppers,
moths, whiteflies, flea
beetles, leaf miners etc. An integral part of any integrated pest
management program they can be used in greenhouses, homes, orchards,
flower and vegetable gardens, anywhere insects are a problem. The glue
does not dry out and the traps will last until the surface area is
completely covered with insects, even through rain.
-
Our traps have a grid pattern on them to help you
count and precisely determine population levels.
-
For many insects like fungus gnats the traps are also
very effective when laid horizontally across the rim of a pot or
strung horizontally in the garden. The bugs are more attracted to
landing on the flat surface! You can cut them into smaller pieces as
needed.
-
They store indefinitely until you need them.
-
The total surface area of each individual trap is 56 square inches.
-
Non poisonous and weatherproof.
-
Cut to whatever size you like for your needs.
-
Monitoring methods. Yellow sticky cards and potato pieces placed on
potting media are good methods for monitoring adult and larval
populations, respectively.
For Fungus Gnats Sticky Traps are most effective when place
horizontally on the potting media surface, although vertically
positioned cards hung over the crop canopy are also effective and trap
more of other types of insect pests as well. In greenhouses cards
placed under the benches, close to intake vents, near doorways and
outside the greenhouse can provide additional information to detect
breeding areas. Continuous monitoring (weekly) can provide the
following information: 1) first detection of low populations; 2)
population density increases or decreases over time; 3) the level and
length of suppression resulting from the implementation of suppression
tactics.
